Are our Racing Heroes really bad people?

[GottaGoFast]

Holy crap. I didnt see the original post but you know what, there is a difference between heroes and idols. I can honestly say that there isn't very many in dirt racing that could be idols. Heroes definitely. Then again some might idolize those drivers because they are great at what they do but then they do those very human things that people can relate with. Sure Bloomers stories from the summer Nationals are priceless, but it goes way back before Rick Eckert's stories when hav-a-Tampa started, Billy Moyer Sr before Jr was born, and some real bad ones I shouldn't mention. The fights, stealing peoples stuff, the drugs, the arrests, sabotaging other races equipment, and the women. (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) I should write a book lol.

Too much time on peoples hands. Of course there are different personal behaviors in racing. What I do know is that most all drivers in auto racing take time with the fans. That is more than I can say about other sports. Enjoy the races, the drivers you like and be happy you can be a part.

The bobby f n peirce shirt is defanatly not in good taste and for sure not anything that should be of hero rankings. It's just bad patenting allowing a child to wear it...

Agreed. Any parent that would allow a child to wear that is severely lacking in the morals and ethics department.

Or.....any parent that would let their child profit from a shirt like that is severely lacking in the morals and ethics department!

Its crazy to see people buy these dude's tshirts and put them on a kid.

What are you wearing as you post this malarkey ? An NBA or a Joe Biden T - shirt ? ? ? ? ?

No, none of these drivers are bad people and I've met quite a alot of them in my day including today's drivers. They're just trying to either make a living out of this or they're Saturday night metal jockeys out for some laughs, take your pick !

I respect them and admire there abilities, but in the long run, they're human just like all of us ( well, maybe except BloomerWon ) Just had to throw that in for the 4m natives on here, BW !

Weirdo.

Disagree, there’s a few that are to a total POS human, but talented behind the wheel. Nothing wrong with appreciating the talent as that’s what we pay for.

I posted TMZ-esque stories about our beloved racers and took it down. I figured you softies couldn't take hearing anything negative about your heroes.

''lol'' you right on that. lots these people touchy sensitives on many things!!

They drive race cars, they’re not super human or extraordinary people.
